I am having a serious problem reaching anyone in Robinhood. It says that account is restricted and I should look out for email for over 2 months. https://t.co/7KabpKBEDw
A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.
He died 5 months after recording it.
It was his final gift to the world.
Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.
The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.
And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.
How to speak.
15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:
Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.
Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.
The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.
Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.
Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.
Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.
Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.
Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.
Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.
Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.
End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.
Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.
Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.
The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.
Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.
Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.
Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.
You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.
Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.
He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.

As Trump is forced to face reality by Iran - good time to revisit the opening scene of The Newsroom.
America simply isn’t the greatest country on the planet - any doubts to that have been laid to rest over the last two weeks.
Best Video I’ve watch so far. “Nigeria’s unity is not up for negotiation. If the world insists on watching, then let the world watch us rise together.” Share far and wide!! 🇳🇬
Fasting is an exclusively human choice. Both, man and animal eat (feed themselves). Only man is capable of fasting...Fasting is the highest expression of will, it is an act of freedom.
It's heartbreaking that the greatest generation who fought Hitler and saved America and the world from fascism is having to do it again. If this story does not make your eyes well up with tears, then you're dead inside. 🥺😭👇

So US vice president Kamala Harris went on a trip to Zambia.
She landed on a Chinese-built airport.
She moved on a Chinese-built road.
She spoke in a venue that is China's gift to Zambia and she told Zambian people don't cooperate with China....
"Good luck with that"

The picture on the right is the former head of AIPAC bragging that he controls the president and can even pick his cabinet
The left is Joe Biden’s cabinet, showing all his top positions are given to jews
Could you imagine if it was Russia and China bragging about controlling our president then all his cabinet was Russian or Chinese
I’m not claiming all Jews are Israel first but I’ve noticed a large amount seem to be
